Ghost wolf needs update

Sure, Shaman can have 3 different Ghost Wolf forms, but that’s nothing compared to what Druids get for both Cat and Bear forms. When it comes down to it, they’re all just recolors of the same form.

So, with that in mind, I suggest that there be a Ghost Corgi form added to the options. Upside: Everyone loves Corgis.
Downside: None.

Also, it would give Scribes a consistent source of income, and be the first glyphe in 10 years that people actually want.

I just want something that matches my Goblin shaman (best shamans)… atm using raptor but it’s not good enough for a Goblin. :dracthyr_cry_animated:

I second this with no bias at all.
Aside, last night I got first place in the Trial of Style on my Dracthyr Envoker in Dracthyr form. It can be done, huge odds can be overcome! Passing on some PMA.

So you are not asking for an update, you are asking for more forms.

Might want to change your title.

I was confused by this so I did some research and found four different forms:
Ghost Wolf (original)/Spectral Wolf (recolored blueish)
Spectral Vulpine (fox)
Spectral Raptor (dino)
Spectral Lupine (stylized fox, I think; definitely different)

And all four of the spectral forms are all the same blueish color.

Are there more colors?

(Is there orange? It is my dwarf shaman’s favorite color.)

I don’t.

They are a travesty of a dog should be. Humans have bred a lot of cruel forms of dogs but that one has to be the worse. None of them will last a year after their owners are eaten in the zombie apocalypse… although they will make a tasty snack for some real dogs.

And, personally, if Blizzard is going to add more forms I would like a feline, preferably a spectral saber.

And what would that be?

I automatically thought of their racial mounts but they are all mechanical.

Given their antecedents, a rock elemental would fit but I don’t think it is as ‘cool’ as a wolf.

Wow, that is impressive!

:cupcake: :cupcake: :cupcake: for you!!!

It’s too bad they don’t have signatures here because that would make a excellent one!

I dont think a raptor is a recolor of a wolf

It’s a stylized wolf.
I’d really like to see differing colours too. A fiery red, ghostly green, and even a watery version.
As for shape, maybe a Wolpertinger?

I dunno, one of those armored hyenas from the latest patch?

Blizzard is woefully obtuse when it comes to class customization.

Hunters have 2390 individual looks, pet appearances they can mix and match, and gee, wonder why they’re so popular?! /s

Blizzard will learn, someday. It’s something other classes crave, more options.

Housing is a start, but we want actual gameplay visuals too. Like old glyphs.

new ghost wolf form idea: a vulpera.
all shaman turn into a vulpera.
a vulpera becomes even more vulpera.

I think the ghost fox form is good enough for Vulpera shaman. :dracthyr_hehe_animated:
At least you guys have something that matches… unlike… my poor Goblin.
Though wait… Vulpera should also get an ghost alpaca option.

Dammit, just put different shaman forms into the barbershop like with druid and warlock!

And while you’re at it, add customization for DH demon form.

Really, really, REALLY have been wanting a mechanical wolf with the ghost/spectral coloring/style for my goblin shaman.

As well, a wicker style ghost/spectral for them Kul Tiran shamans.

Make Spectral / Ghost Wolf styles for barbershop. Allow Glyphs to change its translucent color.

Just give Shaman an ability to “tame” the spirit of an animal that they’ve killed and their travel form will be a spirit version of whatever animal they used it on.

Like hunter’s tame beast, but you’re using it on a corpse and instead of being a pet it becomes an appearance.

There is also a bit of an oversight with the surging totem. It doesn’t look like one of those drill totems goblins use. More like a tauren totem.

After Ardenwield shapes, maybe they can inspire more shaman ghost ‘wolf’ shapes.

When normal humans get Shamans they should canonically get a horse shape form right? It only seems fair.

I think each race should have their own ghost form. We all know that the only reason it’s a wolf is the Frostwolf tribe and Blizzard is lazy. I don’t think trolls have a wolf loa so where did that come from for them?

Anyways, this is what I’ve been plugging for for years. These are just the models I would use, not colors.

Orc - Dire Worg
Mag’har Orc - current Maned Wolf
Tauren - Kodo
Highmountain Tauren - Moose
Troll - Get rid of the glyph and make the updated raptor troll only
Zandalari - Ravasaur
Goblin - Hyena
Vulpera - Alpaca

Dwarf - Ram
Dark Iron - Dark Hound
Draenei - Draenor Talbuk
Kul Tiran - Crab

Earthen - Ramolith
Panda - Celestial Tiger or Turtle

I’m halfway convinced that when bad mogs win trial of style it’s because players are taking it too seriously and strategically vote for what they perceive as the “worst” choice to increase their own odds of winning.

While I agree with the thread premise, I disagree with this reasoning.

Cat and bear forms are key integral parts of their mob to mob gameplay. They literally can’t play two of their specs without them. This also means they don’t get to see their transmogs most of the time.

It’s a very different situation to Shaman.

While I like the idea of adding a ‘glyph of spectral hyena’ to the line-up, having each race with their own ‘ghost wolf’ shape seems kinda… derivative, given their totems are already race-based, not to mention limiting.

More fun to have five or six different ones to choose from and able to switch at whim.

I vote for:

wolf
fox
hyena
saber cat
bear
raptor
